Overview
Al-Nawawi's standing with the people emboldened him to petition the Mamluk sultan Baybars to lift the war taxes imposed on the people of Syria and to protect the madrasa teachers from a cut in their stipends. When the petition failed and a fatwa approving the exactions was put before the jurists, al-Nawawi alone refused to sign, and Baybars expelled him from Damascus to Nawa 1." ur: "نووی کی عوام میں ساکھ نے انہیں جرأت دی کہ وہ مملوک سلطان بیبرس سے شام کے لوگوں پر عائد جنگی ٹیکس اٹھانے اور مدرسوں کے مدرسین کے وظیفے میں کمی سے بچانے کی درخواست کریں۔ درخواست ناموفق رہی، پھر جب فقہا کے سامنے ان وصولیوں کی جوازیت کا فتویٰ پیش ہوا تو نووی نے تنہا دستخط کرنے سے انکار کر دیا، جس پر بیبرس نے انہیں دمشق سے نوى نکال دیا 1۔
